Fasho Thoughts
- The real question is how many of these awards will we actually see given out on TV? 8-10 is a safe bet.
- Will Cardi B show up eight months pregnant? She could slay the red carpet in maternity wear.
- One award that DJ Khaled isn’t up for — Husband of the Year.
- Nobody watches award shows for the awards or speeches, especially when half of the nominees don’t bother to show up. All we wanna know is who is performing and will Rihanna be there?
- With Scorpion dropping in June, a big Drake performance would make sense.
